LANCIA The Shield and the Flag

General history of Vincenzo Lancia and the car company he founded. Written by the acknowledged marque expert, this 1980 book is heavy on text and fairly sparsely illustrated (typical of the era) . It runs fro Lancia's days as a successful racing driver via Lamdas and Aurelias, the D50 F1 car of the 50s to the take over by the Fiat empire. It doesn't stray into later production such as the Fulvia or Stratos. About 30% of the text is headed FACTS AND FIGURES inc includes a lot of engine drawings and other data. 269 pages . Good condition book and jacket with some fading on the latter and some de-lamination of the jacket evident at the lower back edge.
